Shadowmarch

With his MEMORY, SORROW & THORN series Tad Williams has written one of the modern classics of the fantasy genre which helped breathing new life into many old and tired tropes. Now, eleven years after the publication of "To Green Angel Tower" Williams returns with the first volume of a brand-new fantasy trilogy. And "Shadowmarch" has everything you could ask for in an epic fantasy novel. An interesting cast of characters (the royal twins Briony and Barrick are particularly well done), a strong and mysterious plot that moves along quite nicely, and detailed world-building. "Shadowmarch" started out as a television treatment and then morphed into an online serial that was published in bi-weekly installments. Now, Tad has re-written the whole storyline and added a lot of new material. However, with three more volumes to come this is just the beginning of the story. Anyway, I am sure this will become yet another winner for Tad!
